6 || Is anxiety impacting your appetite? Biological solutions you need to know now!

I talk a lot about intuitive eating, but what are you supposed to do when things like… you know… a pandemic hit... and anxiety impacts your appetite? 

 

Anxiety influences your GI track in a specific way that can lead to under or overeating. Join me today to talk nutrition deets on how to biologically set your body up to better manage anxiety. I even included some research references at the end of the show notes for you neRDs out there.
